Gary Johnson calls family leader pledge 'Offensive and Unrepublican'.“Government should not be involved in the bedrooms of consenting adults. I have always been a strong advocate of liberty and freedom from unnecessary government intervention into our lives. The freedoms that our forefathers fought for in this country are sacred and must be preserved. The Republican Party cannot be sidetracked into discussing these morally judgmental issues — such a discussion is simply wrongheaded. We need to maintain our position as the party of efficient government management and the watchdogs of the “public’s pocket book”.

Scared of Freedom.There are a lot of people who consider themselves freedom advocates, who, with righteous zeal and indignation, vehemently rail against the injustice, corruption and oppression "government" continually spews forth.

The UN has a plan. Here is the world’s most powerful intergovernmental institution essentially arguing for the destruction of the global economy, enforced rationing, Marxist wealth redistribution, greater regulation, the erosion of property rights and global governance by a new world order of technocrats and bureaucrats.

House-Wring Diagrams. One came with the house. It went god-knows-where sometime in the last few years. And it's now out of date, thanks to a new panel in the basement. Time to make a new one. And this is a big ol' barn of a house, built in three phases spanning decades: nooks and crannies and cruft everywhich-where.
